[@user-up1us9jf1o]

It’s a shame I’m going to have to hate this guy in 3 years when he’s a Dodger/Yankee/Astro/Philly. Pitt ownership sucks

[@cturner8584]

I'm hoping when the new owner completely takes over you will be able to add Baltimore to that list :D

[@thelastlatchkeykid8466]

The laws of the MLB. Top talent goes to 10-11 teams.

[@RC_928]

Don’t expect him to be Pirate’s version of Ben Roehtlisberger or Sydney Crosby.

[@realgoldmember968]

Met hopefully, just to watch him through 8 great innings and have the bullpen blow a 1-0 lead.

[@noisyboy4985]

He can’t become a free agent until 2031.

[@RealRGS]

Chicken Alfredo is fueling the GASS Station 😂

[@justinparrish451]

Haven’t watched yet but the Hank Aaron Braves better win it all.

[@storymiller7349]

This guy is a master at underselling a sport that no one gaf ab already

[@MattyH99]

Dude is uber talented and has a bright future in the game of baseball. But he only speaks in one tone: mono

[@BirdsBeersBarbells]

Do you know mono means one? That was redundant

[@Inhereflackin]

@@BirdsBeersBarbellsbut there can be different kinds of tones, so monotone is the one tone he uses

[@jakewillingham2529]

Google his GF, its working for him.

[@rayreese8924]

A lot of personality on this guy

[@aaronbarillas3359]

Pats trying hard to put this guy on but he’s refusing lol

[@StarkRavingSports]

Cool that you got to talk to Jacob deGrom with a mustache 👍

[@ryankatai]

Always love AJ but he has to be getting fed these questions cause they’ve been on point 😂

[@austinmcgee9074]

Ajs not a dumbass😂 give my man some credit

[@user-dx6mt1xl4s]

I mean he’s jus the leading tackler for the packers but ok lol

[@nickstewart1856]

The absolute look of confusion on Pat and AJ's faces when he was talking about the gyro slider LOL

[@ThatSirius]

I know the sound of a bic lighter when I hear one.

[@craigevans1123]

Proud he's still got some USAF love.

[@tigcarn]

Name the Bullpen "The Gass Station" then give the nickname Captain Octane. Pat talking about Pirates being bad made me feel old. I remember the days of Bonds, Bonilla, Bream

[@josephdodson3323]

Same here! 😂

[@PositivelySunshine]

This dude is Jack Morris combined with Randy Johnson. Skills, power, and a killer. Unbelievable repeatable monotone interview style too. If you saw Pat interview the Big Unit, you get it

[@meatthenole5601]

Great Prater reference Pat. And yes, that hall of famer is with the cardinals. What a good dude.

[@Chad_Cave]

Chicken alfredo got just his ass weighing 50 pahnds.

[@robertflint4115]

Traded away by mid season for "Future Prospects". Pirates fans are great, the stadium is great, the ownership SUCKS.

[@JP-xq7fo]

Guarantee you Pirates sent that kid to the minors in the beginning of the season to save money… Nutting suckksssssss

[@grant1650]

It was so they can have him for a longer time, not to save money. Nutting still does suck though

[@bsx132]

@@grant1650 He didn't even make the super two deadline... They don't get an extra year and if he's a top rookie it wouldn't matter either way. They kept him down because he hadn't pitched in almost 9 months and he only threw 6.2 innings in minor league ball before 2024 then just over 27 this year. 27 innings is 1/8th of a season for a starter that throws a full season. The kid was barely even in pro ball, they don't want him burning up his arm immediately.

[@austinmcgee9074]

The Andre 3000 quote got me 😂😂😂

[@tylerricker230]

Seems like a hell of a ball player but man he shows no emotion I wonder if he’s just a shy dude on camera or if he genuinely doesn’t show emotion ever

[@Zachboulden]

I imagine he’s just introverted but I imagine Pat and the boys will crack him eventually 😂

[@Dan-zs4rk]

@@Zachboulden probably not introverted. Last thing people do who are is be on camera. Forget the fact about the amount of people watching. Being quiet can definitely go away over

[@iitstre_4550]

@@Dan-zs4rkThat was a pretty stupid take. The amount of introverted athletes and personalities is VERY LARGE! He’s a top prospect dating a famous athlete, of course he’ll be on camera. He doesn’t get much choice. It’s much more likely that he’s just a bit shy on camera

[@Thegeneralms1]

I also feel like being at the Air Force academy made him this way. Lots of Military people are just structured and don’t show emotion.

[@jacksonhall9899]

Hey that’s Pittsburgh Pauly, Steel City Skenes

[@jacksonfelt1133]

Johan Duran been doing the splinker

[@darrenXparker]

gASS Station 😂

[@mickym.6711]

I mean. I'm pumped the buccos landed this guy. Inevitably he'll be wearing pinstripes before they get any good though. Kind of impressed that he's nailing livvy dunne with absolutely zero personality. Guess being a first round draft pick helps.

[@michaelf.bender3718]

Some athletes have emotions, and some don't.

[@Youtube_Sucks_Eggs]

From what I've heard about Livvy I imagine it has something to do with Paul likely having a massive schlong

[@upsidedownlogic175]

How about todays start?!? Unbelievable

[@scottharaczy1313]

Whats the name of the song?!

[@LambertginiMercy]

12:09 Toxic af 🤣🤣🤣

[@fast02gt]

What’s toxic about that ?

[@LambertginiMercy]

@@fast02gt its an exaggeration that the boys do as well. Were all good, loved this moment

[@coleman1369]

[@paulharbron8439]

The Gasser, like the race car 🏎️

[@masonhiemstra2188]

Already a guy in the division with the name Gasser and it's his actual name.

[@kevinneubauer8061]

I’m a cubs fan but I love this dude until we play pirates. He reminds me of mark prior for the cubs or straasburg or Johnson either way I love the flamethrowers.

[@jonathanhashinger1096]

Sheetz needs to get in on this!!!

[@gratefulbreaks]

There is video of Paul catching against LSU his freshman year.

[@slipphilton6141]

I hope Rhett Lowder gets called up before we play the pirates

[@philipschifano5876]

Josh allen with a stache? Josh allen of baseball

[@JP-rr4gi]

He sounded uninterested and Pat was hyping him up

[@jeanclaude1916]

pat has so much life in em. you cant help but not like the man. also, this is the man who legit rizzed up livvy dunne. not baby gronk

[@TexasVideoDan]

I believe you mean you can't help but like the man

@@TexasVideoDan lmao yeah you right

[@cruzpangelina9924]

While I admittedly could barely hit the broad side of a barn as it was, I always hated hitting against emotionless boring guys like Skenes

Come on, 'Big Country' as a nickname is already taken: Big County Bryant Reeves

[@hernangonzalez8624]

I appreciate the Andre 3000 bar

[@Fryed_Bryce]

You ever had a Reggie Bar? Kinda decent minus the mess it makes

[@peytonmorgan1707]

guy from Mississippi State throws from both sides

[@upsidedownlogic175]

Well not really anymore in the season, he hasn’t thrown from the left side in like 8 weeks. But he still can lol. Just way more productive from the right hand side

[@stephqwinn]

How’d he bag Livvy?!

[@user-gu8hf7rs2z]

When he gets paid half a billion dollars or more is ESPN still going to call him Mr. Livvy Dunn in your shorts@espn? Still in a Tye moment. Sorry, not sorry boys as Mr. Paul Skenes is effing dominating mlb as a rookie.

[@BrothaAustin]

@nihon_nippon the point was it was funny and they were all laughing about it.Even himself.

[@JimJones-fy8ul]

Are we really supposed to believe that he and Ms. Dunne were “sleeping” when he got the call? 😜

[@AtcRomans116]

He doesnt rely on spin rate and all that other jazz so he will last longer. The biggest possible future issue is shoulder issues due to his release point. Skenes is more of an old school pitcher.

[@GDavis49]

@@AtcRomans116high velocity like he has is the #1 red flag for a TJ injury

[@918guy]

​@@GDavis49 no its not ... its the mechanics of the player. plenty of high schoolers throwing mid 80s blow their ucl. Strider toasted his for a 2nd time by adding a (sick af) curve into his game. Shohei didnt blow his throwing a fastball
